RE: PSA: Warning On gtg-witnesses Account Offering Rewards

in #psa7 years ago

Thanks for looking out. Until people take personally responsibility to not fall or stuff like this, it will always continue. As long as even a small percentage of people get fooled, the scammers will make enough money to keep doing it. We all have to work together to raise awareness and educate people in order to protect ourselves and starve these people out. Ideally they'll learn providing value is more profitable and enjoyable than harming others.

no probs, im just glad was caught early even though looks like someone's funds got taken by it already

looks like @shaikatkm put his key and it transferred his SBD and Steem over,

your right the more people who are educated on how scams operate will make it difficult,time consuming and costly to try with most being deterred into legitimate enterprises there will still be a few who will try the numbers game regardless,

whenever there is money involved especially the vast amounts crypto holds , which will only grow magnitudes into the future expect an explosion of everyday shysters enticed by fortunes and probably encouraged by high profile scams that get away with millions devoid of consequence.

i dont think there will be a time when everybody is aware of the interstices of scams these days which will only evolve as time goes on mush the same as with cyber wars as white hats and black hats battle with ever evolving programming techniques and technologies crypto communities must do the same.
